The F Word (2013 film)
At a diner, Wallace tells Chantry about the trip and his feelings for her, and she responds unfavorably, informing him that she has accepted a work promotion and will be moving to Taiwan.Heartbroken, Wallace considers returning to medical school and moving on with his life; however, he decides to attend Chantry's farewell party, and they have a tearful goodbye.[citation needed] Producer Michael Dowse felt it was important to film in Toronto since the city hadn't been featured in many classic romantic comedies.[19] After testing the film with different focus groups, the filmmakers realized audiences wanted a more conclusive ending, so new scenes set 18 months later were shot.[23] The film's worldwide distribution rights were acquired by Entertainment One[24] and they handled the theatrical release in Canada and the United Kingdom.The F Word's soundtrack was scored by A. C. Newman and features artists such as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Patrick Watson, Marsha Hunt, and the Parting Gifts.The site's critical consensus states: "Its narrative framework may be familiar, but What If transcends its derivative elements with sharp dialogue and the effervescent chemistry of stars Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan.[36] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review of the film, remarking, "Hitting all the rom-com notes with wit and some charm, it'll be a crowd-pleaser in theaters and help moviegoers move on from seeing co-star Daniel Radcliffe only as the world's favorite wizard".[38] Film.com gave it a 7.2 out of 10, noting it was "elevated from an above-average romantic comedy to a movie worthy of being embraced by a generation of twenty somethings because it refuses to let its characters off the hook".It is director Michael Dowse's follow-up to GOON, and just like that film, its hilariously foul script disguises a surprisingly soft, big-hearted centre".Careening toward an overly neat and tender resolution, "The F Word" lacks the gall to let its uncoordinated characters wind up victims of their situation".Kathryn Bromwich, writing for The Guardian, remarked: 'I recently had to switch off a seemingly inoffensive mid-2010s romcom (which has been described as a "light, delightful movie" with a "hip indie twist"[40]) after its fourth joke at the expense of disabled people in under an hour.
